Chief Larak leads Mor Khazgur and teaches Master-level Block. It is right next to the Mor Khazgur Mine. The Orcs own and work the mine, which mainly produces orichalcum. This mine has plentiful orichalcum ore which may then be smelted at the smelter directly outside of the mine.

Orcs are immediately welcomed at the gate, but other races must complete a quest in order to gain entrance; however, if access has been gained to another Orc Stronghold, this won't be necessary.

When the Stronghold is approached for the first time an Orc will be able to gain access, but any other race will be stopped by the guard. The guard will explain that this place is exclusively for Orcs and outsiders are not to be permitted inside. However, upon questioning the guard about how they may gain access, she will say that they need to reclaim the Forgemaster's Fingers. This item may be collected in a radiant location in a quest. Return with the Forgemaster's Fingers and permission to enter the stronghold will be rewarded. Give The Forgemaster's Fingers to Chief Larak and be named a Blood-kin of the Orcs, he will also offer Master-level training in Block.

Head to Shor's Stone, a small mining town near Riften, speaking to the residents there begins a quest to clear the mine of Frostbite Spiders. Once this task is completed, speak to Grogmar gro-Burzag in the town. He will give thanks for the help and will grant a welcome at the Orc Strongholds, further stating that the Orcs will not attack. This opens a new line of dialogue: ask him about any "nearby Orc Strongholds", he will point one out on the map.

Two Sabre Cats can be found near the stronghold. If they're attracted towards the stronghold, the inhabitants will open the gates and attack them. This can cause many Orcs in the stronghold to be killed in battle if they're left to deal with the cats alone.
